A simple Linux server to make your serial ports available all over the world.

I did that with my IC-756 PRO way back, so I could listen and watch my radio at work via the network.. Kind of slow, but it works.

Audio is patched through sounds packets etc..

I maybe mistaken but I think some outfit has done this already with this radio. I never felt the desire to publish what I made because it was just an experiment for something else at the time.

This was done on windows of course..

There is a very nice utility in Linux, it is called 'netcat', also 'nc'. I use it to send high quality video via WiFi to the laptop. So the main PC has the satellite receiver card, and records to disk set by a timer.

Then I run this script in one xterm on the laptop: PORT=1234 while [ 1 ] do echo "Hold ctrl C down to abort." netcat -l -p $PORT | mplayer -fs -vop pp=0x20000 -monitoraspect 800:480

-cache 1000 - done exit 1

Then I ssh to the main PC, log in , and type send-ts and have more then 100 movies to chose from:

This is the send-ts script:

# send-ts

if [ "$1" == "" ] then echo "Usage: send-ts offset10MB filename ipaddress" exit 1 fi

if [ "$2" == "" ] then echo "Usage: send-ts offset10MB filename ipaddress" exit 1 fi

if [ "$3" == "" ] then echo "Usage: send-ts offset10MB filename ipaddress" exit 1 fi

dd skip=$1 if=$2 bs=10000000 \ | \ /bin/netcat \

-w 100 \ $3 \

1234

---------------------------------------- netcat is cool:-)

Would you be willing to share the code, for us windows types ?

thanks

Which part of the code would you need?

I used the ICS components to do the network transfer. and then used basic PCM sound coding in windows which is code I grabbed from the slow scan program.

I made a simple single wire RS-232 interface to the rig etc..

Used my camera to take a snap shot of the radio's panel and integrated that with animated buttons that work via it's com link commands etc..

I would have to dig on my other PC for the original program how ever, I have the code I used for the various parts in my libs if you need assistants in writing your own?

I don't know if you're aware of the slow scan program I put out some time ago? "SSTV32", that program itself performs FFT with the Sound card PCM interface I wrote, FTP file up load for live images for web viewers, a Web veiwer for tiled images from others that are doing the same, Twain interfacing, interfacing the rig via the serial port, image capture from camera devices etc..

I put all of this in a single EXE file that fails just over 1 meg in file size. It has other basic functions that you would expect..

When I made the ICOM program, I just took code section from that program and kind of made a quick trinket to play with..

Let me know what code you need help with. We could move this discussion in another group if needed.

P.S. This was done in Asm/Inline Asm and Delphi

I'd never heard of it before. Turns out it's on this system, but there's no goddamn man page.
